6.2 Safety Guidelines for Operation
When operating the pump, pay attention to the following safety
guidelines:
Observe all warning messages and precautionary statements presented
in section 2.3 Safety Precautions (see page 22 ).
CAUTION—High Luminosity of LED
The high luminosity produced by the LED illuminating the inside of the
pump can be harmful to the eyes. Do not look directly into the light
produced by the LED. Do not use light-focusing instruments for viewing
the light beam.
NOTICE Pay attention also to the following guidelines:
•
When operating the chromatography system, always set the lower
pressure limit for the pump. This prevents damage resulting from
leakage or from running the pump dry.
•
If there is evidence of leakage in the pump, turn off the pump flow
and remedy the situation immediately.
•
If the pump flow is interrupted, act appropriately to protect the
components in the detector. For details, refer to the
Operating
Manual for the detector.
•
Always verify that the autosampler is turned on before the pump
flow is on and pressure builds up. If the autosampler is turned off,
for example, after a power failure, stop the pump flow and wait until
the pressure is down to zero before turning on the autosampler or
other modules again
